When Does Trump Start Drooling?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
“ What’s the Spanish word for straitjacket? ”
As early as June 2016, legal experts warned that Donald Trump, Republicans’ presumptive nominee for president, exhibited “contempt for the First Amendment, the separation of powers and the rule of law.” He’s lived down to that assessment ever since. Alleged law-and-order Republicans have given him a pass on that ever since as well.
Trump at the time had no idea what Brexit was, referred to the Trans-Pacific Partnership as PPP, and alleged that Bill and Hillary Clinton had “turned the politics of personal enrichment into an art form for themselves.” He was a flake then. He’s a madman now. I referenced the mad dictator from Bananas (1971) in June of 2016. But what do I know? I’m no Nobel laureate.
Paul Krugman is. He went there today: It’s “Underwear on the Outside” Time
In the 1971 comedy film Bananas a third-world nation’s strongman announces his new policies:
From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check.
Yesterday, addressing the General Assembly of the United Nations, the president of the United States declared, among other things,
The United States also totally rejects any attempt to construct a globalist scheme to control the artificial intelligence being spoken of so much, now here and after officially called superintelligence, changing the name. The use of the word artificial makes intelligence fake, it makes it sound fake … From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world will be changed to use the much more accurate term super as opposed to artificial.
This came just two days after Trump declared that his proposed Arc de Trump would be a high-security military installation housing drones, snipers, and large stores ammunition, all situated in the middle of a traffic circle.
Krugman continues:
Most reporting on Trump’s speech emphasized either his belligerence — his rejection of global cooperation — or the fact that almost everything he said was a lie . But isn’t the bigger story the fact that the leader of what used to be the world’s most powerful nation — I say “used to be” because America’s power is collapsing before our eyes — has clearly and undeniably lost his mind? I’m by no means the only commentator to see parallels between Trump’s UN speech and the scene in Bananas . But comparing Trump to a fictional character is unfair — to the fictional character. After all, in Bananas the mad dictator is quickly removed from power. In America today, some Republicans are quietly distancing themselves from Trump. A few are even voicing subtle, elliptical criticisms. But will he be impeached, or face 25 th Amendment proceedings? Not a chance.
Because Republicans have abandoned any pretense of commitment to the oaths they swore to uphold the Constitution, just as they’ve abandoned any pretense that their policies favor the rich and punish non-white minorities. When Trump last week declared a “ban on the free press” ( his words ), there is no evidence that anyone in his White House (they swore oaths themselves) objected to Trump’s patently unconstitutional action.
“To the victor belonged the spoils,” the madman bragged before the United Nations on Tuesday in referring to the Venezuelan oil he’s confiscating after invading Venezuela in January.
The victors once made slaves of their enemies, raped their women, and burned their villages to the ground. Give Trump and Pete Hegseth time. They’ll get there.
No Republican will lift a finger to stop Trump even when he starts drooling.
